How can Friday the 13th be unlucky?! Fridays are always lucky!

This week flew by in a blur of Spanish podcasts, church group meetings, CrossFit classes, sleep, Candy Crush, and all things fun and sunny!

Yep, life is good. I’m still job searching, but really I’m just waiting (and hoping) that one particular company makes me an offer. Please send positive thoughts my way if you think of it!

Casual Friday

4 Favorite Things:

  • Getting my renewed passport in the mail (a month early!) – I’m a free woman!
  • Having sisters (by marriage). I asked for sisters all of the time when I was little, and I finally got my wish 27 years later when I married the Husband and was able to inherit his older and younger sisters. I just love that I can finally text/call a sister for life advice!
  • Learning to cook. Yep, I’m finally learning to cook. Before I could bake, but you know, cooking is a whole other ballgame.
  • Speaking of ballgames… Football season!

4 Confessions:

  • I always add extra chocolate chips to my ice cream desserts. More chocolate > Less chocolate. I mean it’s just common sense!
  • On Thursday I didn’t shower until 5pm. In my defense, I did go to CrossFit at noon… but seriously, what is wrong with me?!
  • On Thursday I also managed to send Ozzie to doggy daycare without feeding or walking him (I totally slept in). Doggy parent of the year right here! Luckily, he was fine and didn’t seem to notice anything was wrong. Phew.
  • Even though I’m not working right now, I’m still super excited for the weekend! More time with my love and friends – yay!!

Petite Ramblings

Today I’m excited to introduce you to the lovely Kelly from Petite Ramblings! I mean, just the name gets me excited. I’m petite! I ramble! We must be soul mates (or something…)! And that’s not where the similarities end: Like Kelly, I also love the TV show Chopped, love cooking but hate cleaning up afterwards, enjoy hockey… But the similarities may actually end there because she cheers for the Bruins. (Blackhawks for this girl!) You should probably just read all the fun facts about her, they’re awesome and hilarious.

This lady posts from the heart, which I totally love and respect. She wrote a beautiful post about moving from MA to LA to TN back to LA again and the struggles that came along with those transitions. Talk about bravely facing adversity! She also wrote a piece about why she thinks she may never be a mom, and I respect the heck out of her for writing this particular post. I always feel like we see lots of baby news on blogs, but we don’t hear about the other side of the story and celebrate couples who have decided that the child route might not be for them! Kelly’s post definitely made me think.

Not only do I read Kelly’s blog because she writes from the heart (which is not very easy to do!) but she’s also freakin’ funny! When I saw the picture of a “lion” in this post, I almost died (of laughter).

So go on over and check out Petite Ramblings

And feel free to stalk follow her on Twitter, Instagram, and Bloglovin’

OH! And while you’re at it, you may want to get your review ready for her Wine Review linkup! This is a monthly linkup that was brand new last month and it goes live (again) the last day of September. I know I have some wine-drinking readers who could totally contribute.
